Plans for a month-long campaign for Jewish school registration, beginning with a rally in Town Hall on Sept. 24, were announced today by the New York Jewish Education Committee at a luncheon conference.

Speakers included Bernard Semel, who presided, Israel Chipkin, Dr. Alexander Dushkin and Mr. Borowsky.
